IBM Tivoli Composite Application Manager for Application Diagnostics, Version 7.1.0.1
Silent installation for the Managing Server on UNIX and Linux
This chapter describes how to use a command-line command pointing to a response file instead of a GUI installer to install the Managing Server. Installation through the response file without user interaction is called silent installation.
The installation program references a response file located on a hard drive in the network, which contains most or all of the specifications for the installation.
You may want to use a response file for the following reasons:
- You can reuse the response file for multiple installations.
- The response file preserves configuration data for an installation, so that you can identify configuration details at a later date.
You usually perform the silent installation by running it once from a command line, but you also have the option to perform a silent installation in three phases. The first phase installs Managing Server files, the second phase deploys the ITCAM for Application Diagnostics Managing Server component and registers the configuration in WAS, and in the third phase you assign database permissions. You can use this option to install the Managing Server files without having to know the WAS user name and password.
For the silent installation performed in one phase, this chapter lists the configuration options for installing the Managing Server. You modify the configuration options either in the response file or at the command line to run the silent installation.
Begin this chapter at one of the following sections:
- If you are performing a silent installation in three phases, see Performing a three phase Managing Server installation with three logins on Linux and UNIX systems.
- If you are performing a normal silent installation (performed in one phase), see Performing a normal silent installation (in one phase).
- Performing a three phase Managing Server installation with three logins on Linux and UNIX systems
- Performing a normal silent installation (in one phase)
Start the normal silent installation by reviewing the notes about the installation.
